Valparaiso senior outfielder Karen Korb (Indianapolis, Ind./Lutheran)
has been named the U.S. Army Horizon League Female Scholar-Athlete of the Week
for the third time in her career.

Korb hit .417 last week out of the leadoff spot for the
Crusaders in four games last week. She
had a key third-inning triple and scored the game-tying run in Valpo’s victory
over Purdue on Thursday. In a pair of
league games at Green Bay
on Saturday, the senior went 4-for-7 with two runs and two RBIs, including her
second career home run.

In the classroom, Korb maintains a 3.94 GPA as a
double major in finance and marketing.
On Sunday, she was named the recipient of Valpo’s Laurel Award,
presented to the Crusader senior student-athlete with the highest cumulative
GPA. A two-time CoSIDA Academic
All-District V honoree and a three-time NFCA Scholar-Athlete, Korb has earned
Valpo Presidential academic honors each of her three seasons of eligibility and
has been on the Horizon League Academic Honor Roll each of Valpo’s first three
semesters in the league.
